A CULTURE.

The following from a special cor
respondent Of Baltimore NdnutQct-
urers' Record, writing from Whining
ton, shows what a persevering and
determined man can do where others
Of less energy and perseverance fail:
There is one citizen here, Capt. S.
W. Noble, a native of Lenoir county,
who early saw the dangers of the
trucking business and determined
to abandon it. Capt. Noble bought
in this. vicinity some ii years ago
42O acres of worn-out land and Gull
tivated it several seasons as a truck
farm. One day in 1877, while driv-
ing from the city to his place, he
saw by the side of the road 20 grape
vines that n of his neighbors had
dug up and thrown over the fence.
He thought he would save them.
and so he carted them to his place
and set them out. He cut them
down close to the stumps, and when
they sprouted he trained the best
shoots to stakes and pruned the
rest. The neighbour who threw
away the vines did 80 because he
got no grapes. He and all 9th, rs
who had tried viticulture in this
vicinity had been unsucces full. The
vines fiOurished and blossomed
abundantly, but the fruit would not
mature. Capt. Noble is a reader
with good memory. His plan was
modelled on that pursued in Euro
pean vineyards. One day after his
grapes were set an English a%cquain-
lance, looking through his grounds,
stopped at the vines and pinched in
the ends of all the young shoots.
"Do the same to all your vines" he
laid, "and your grapes will ripen.
His advice was needed and every
cluster matured. Captain Noble
saw in this success the foundation
Of a profitable business. From his
20 Concord vines he has now $4,000.
He no longer pinches off the
sprouts, but twice or thrice in a sea-
son his men 60 through the vine
yard with pruning hooks and cut in
all the new growth. The secret
| success in this climate is to keep
the foliage near the fruit; therefore
there must be both winter pruning
and summer trimming. Besides the
Concords, Capt. Noble has more
han 300 varieties of American and
some 80 foreign grapes. He tries
every new native experimentally
and the foreign as an interesting
study. He raises Black Hamburgs,
Chasselsas and other we'll known
varieties of the Viis Tinltera, but
not for market they do not pay.
The Concord is his money-maker'
His crop ripens and is shipped be-
tween July Goth and August 18th to
New York, Philadelphia and Balti-
more. Others here abouts have fol-
loved Capt. Mobiles example, but to
him belongs the credit Of establish
ing a profitable industry that will
admit of large expansion, and of
LONG it after others had pronounced
it impracticable. 1t is one of the
illustrations that might be furnished
IF the intelligence and persistence
Of Southern men in their efforts to
advance their own welfare.

BUILDING AND LOAN AssoCIATIoN.-THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER has urged from time
to time the establishment of a building
and loan association in Winston, as one
of the most effective methods to aid in
the speedy and permanent growth of the
city. The following from the Landmark
will show how it works and is though,
of in Statesville:
The building and loan association is
booming. Six hundred and twenty-five
shares of stock have been subscribed for
and shareholders are paying in weekly
$l56.25. The directors last week made
the first loan Of the association funds, the
moun being 81 1000, and the borrower,
Mr.. R. H. ~Rickert, who will proceed at
once to build a residence. Loans are
made strictly at 8 per cent. interest, the
borrower receiving in cash the par value
OF his shares and paying interest weekly,
with his installments, on the amount
actually borrowed and no more. There
are several applications for money and
the association will have no difficulty in
disposing of all its funds as fast as they
are paid in. The money will be kept
constantly moving, and everybody in
the community will receive the benefit
OF its activity. Loans will be made only
upon gilt-edged collateral and always Of
any amount less than the property
pledged is assessed at for taxation. The
first series of stock has now been closed
AMI the second series will be opened six
months from the date of the organization,
to.wlt: the 9TH of August.
The building and loan association has
passed beyond the experimental stage.
IT'S an assured success. 1t is daily prov
nights utility as a savings institution, and
! Ills to be the means of providing en-
ployment and homes for many of our
people.
The Hendersonville Times says that

quantity of Western bacon, but immense
quantities of Western hay, corn and

grass and grain growing countries in the
world.
The fact that there are seven North
Carolina murderers at large does not tell
well for the vigilance or energy of the
officers whose duty it is to see the laws
enforced.

Our Wealthy Men.

Much has been said in newspa.
pers OF men who have made large
fortunes in comparatively tew
years in various business industries.
Many of these articles are written
by correspondents of pro,n'nen,
newspapers, and copied into others
of lesser note. Correspondents gen :
orally are seldom men of business
qualifications and wrongtully picture
these men and their business as a
thing of accident: this is not the
case with those we have met. We
ind that where men have made
large fortunes by their own business
talent and industry they chose with
sagacity and forethought such husi
ness as would lead to success when
handled with business judgement.
No man has been brought before
the public as an example of success.

Blaine has strong following, but
the Republicans of the East are
looking to the West for leader.
